Urgent Notice to All Club Secretaries

Please be aware that unless you have correctly completed and returned your club re-affiliation paperwork for 2016, your club will not be insured. We are unable to make any exceptions to this ruling as our underwriters will not accept claims made if the correct paperwork has not been submitted and received at our NSRA offices.

Please note that if you have already submitted your renewal paperwork, your club will be covered by our insurance, providing this is complete and correct. Any slight delay you may experience in receiving confirmation of your renewal is due to the Christmas / New Year break and the resulting volume of work we have to process.

To avoid unnecessary telephone calls and if you have yet to send in your renewal paperwork, please refer to the letter sent to you in October 2015, detailing the relevant forms for completion, the information required and the club renewal fee payable for 2016.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation and understanding during what is for us a very busy time of the year.

If you need another copy of the forms, all 2016 membership forms can be downloaded below:

News from the NSRA

To All FAC and RFD Certificate Holders - Important

News

15 December 2016

Important news for all FAC and RFD Certificate Holders. Please read the information below.

All members and RFD holders about to renew their firearms certificates should be aware of the need to allow adequate time for renewal. This has been emphasised by the Metropolitan Police in a circular to all National Governing Bodies and it is clear that a number of certificate holders lapse into unlawful possession through forgetfulness or simply not prioritising this legal requirement.

Reminder letters are sent out 12 weeks before the expiry of each individual and RFD certificate. In many cases non-renewal may be due to forgetfulness or the member having moved away from a previous address. The Police however are now taking a much more serious view of this. The advice is to ensure you renew at least 8 weeks before expiry. The consequences of non-renewal may be that you have to lodge your firearms with a registered dealer.
